So…some things in this book are helpful and backed up by empirical sources (eg, existence of circadian rhythms and sleep drive). My issue so far is the entire book is touted as evidence-based, but the basis of ALL her strategies (“sleep associations”) isn’t!!! No references at all starting at that point in Ch5 all the way until Ch7.

Cannot muster an ounce of sympathy for Daisy rn but would listen to Jennifer Beals read a grocery list

I love mess

I am so depressed

My head hurts
